Retinoblastoma

A rare eye tumor disease representing the most common intraocular malignancy in children. It is a life threatening neoplasia but is potentially curable and it can be hereditary or non hereditary, unilateral or bilateral.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma refers loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy usually associated with increased intraocular pressure.

Trabeculectomy in eyes with unsuspected retinoblastoma.
Chawla B, Hada M, Seth R, Sen S, Gupta V, Kashyap S, Narasimhaiah PC.
Ophthalmic Genet. 2016;37(4):437-440.
Nevertheless, a meticulous posterior segment evaluation to rule out retinoblastoma in children presenting with buphthalmos or secondary glaucoma should always be considered.

Choroidal schwannoma in a 6-month-old girl.
Chen JJ, Kamberos NL, O'Dorisio MS, Syed NA, Boldt C.
J AAPOS. 2014;18(2):197-9.
We report a 6-month-old infant presenting with a large noncalcified amelanotic mass with secondary glaucoma that mimicked an atypical retinoblastoma, leading to emergent enucleation for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.

Resolution of iris neovascularization following chemoreduction of retinoblastoma.
Patel J, Turaka K, Shields CL.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2010;47 Online:e1-3.
Chemotherapy is an effective conservative treatment for advanced retinoblastoma and can successfully salvage eyes with neovascularization, particularly before the onset of glaucoma.

Glaucoma in retinoblastoma.
de Leon JM, Walton DS, Latina MA, Mercado GV.
Semin Ophthalmol. 2005;20(4):217-22.
The most common cause of secondary glaucoma in retinoblastoma is iris neovascularization (NVI) followed by pupillary block and tumor seeding of the anterior chamber.

Glaucoma in retinoblastoma.
de Leon JM, Walton DS, Latina MA, Mercado GV.

Glaucoma in retinoblastoma.
de Leon JM, Walton DS, Latina MA, Mercado GV.
Semin Ophthalmol. 2005;20(4):217-22.
Although glaucoma is a secondary clinical issue in retinoblastoma (RB) management and care, awareness of its presence, revealed by a thorough ocular exam of the anterior segment, can guide the clinician in assessing the overall condition of the affected eye.
